In an article forming part of a series on decolonizing the biosciences, Sieglinde Snapp, Director of the Sustainable Agrifood Systems (SAS) program at the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT), explores how to improve inclusivity in scientific research.
The Global South, where work is more locally contextualized and applied, can end up excluded due to the existing reward structure, which rewards pure science first, then applied research and outreach.
As part of her decolonization toolkit, Snapp recommends ways to champion inclusivity, such as following a participatory research approach to create new knowledge, advocacy through authorship, and using alternative indices for performance evaluations.
